Its worth seeing as a rental or for less than $10, but $30+ is for diehards that know what there getting into. I can't imagine there will be many people that will be satisfied paying $30+ as a blind buy.

More than half of my Criterions were blind buys and the only one under $20 was Picnic at Hanging Rock. Naked Lunch was $30+.

And I don't know if satisfied is not regretting buying but I definitely don't regret buying any of them.

I know the reason I'm considering it is because this will be the only time to buy it. I believe Lieberman when he says that. Right about now, I know I would have plonked down $30 for Possession if I knew that Blue Underground disc was going to fall through and when the hell is that getting re-released (Criterion should really be looking into this one). Never seen that one before.

I ordered the Blu. Jeff Lieberman will be at the Chiller end of April, and I'm sure he'll have the BD there. But I'm not taking the chance these might sell out. I love Remote Control and I'm happy to support the director.

I went ahead and splurged since I'm getting a tax refund. I bought both a regular DVD and a Bluray copy figuring I could trade/sell either or both down the line. I hope Lieberman has better luck selling these at conventions. The Bluray was numbered 151 out of a thousand. The DVD was only #5! (Again out of a thousand.) Maybe wait and see if the he drops prices in a few months. Super fast first class shipping (I only ordered late Monday night.)

I watched the BD this weekend and I really enjoyed it. The transfer looked pretty good and its probably the best it will ever look. Remote Control reminds me of a less over-the-top TerrorVision. I think I even like it better than TerrorVision even though TV had some awesome creature effects. Kevin Dillon is just an awesome 80’s “bad boy”…he fits the persona real well and the way in which he delivers his lines is sort of like an 80’s version of a The Fonz. I also love the whole video store setting...it’s fun trying to pick out box art.

Te Bluray looks good, way better then any previous version. Lots of detail including easy to read video boxes and both male lead actors uni-brows! If you're a fan of this movie, the Blu is worth getting.

I read on blu-ray.com's forum that Jeff Lieberman was intentionally sending these out of sequence to confuse how many had actually been sold; if true then the numbered item a person receives may not indicate quantity remaining.
